First Lesson
Jeremiah 8:18-9:1
My joy is gone, grief is upon me, my heart is sick. Hark, the cry of my poor people from far and wide in the land: “Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not in her?” (“Why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their foreign idols?”) “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of my poor people not been restored? O that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night for the slain of my poor people! The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
2
Psalm
79:1-9 • sung by all
O God, the heathen have come into your inheritance; they have profaned your holy/temple; * they have made Jerusalem a/ heap of rubble.
They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the/air, * and the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts/ of the field. They have shed their blood like water on every side of Je /rusalem, * and there was no/ one to bury them. We have become a reproach to our/neighbors, * an object of scorn and derision to /those around us. How long will you be angry, O /Lord? * will your fury blaze like/ fire for ever?
Pour out your wrath upon the heathen who have not/ known you * and upon the kingdoms that have not called u/pon your Name. For they have devoured/Jacob * and made his dwel/ling a ruin.
Remember not our past sins; let your compassion be swift to / meet us; * for we have been brought /very low. Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your/Name; * deliver us and forgive us our sins, for /your Name’s sake.
Second Lesson
1 Timothy 2:1-7
First of all, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For
there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all -- this was attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

sung by cantor, then all
Luke 16:1-13
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, `What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’ Then the manager said to himself, `What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.’ So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, `How much do you owe my master?’ He answered, `A hundred jugs of olive oil.’ He said to him, `Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.’ Then he asked another, `And how much do you owe?’ He replied, The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.
4
`A hundred containers of wheat.’ He said to him, `Take your bill and make it eighty.’ And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. “Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

There is a balm in Gilead

Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain, but then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests, Welcome to worship at the cathedral—I hope you are finding what you are looking for. If you are a guest, let us know how we can help.
Today, we make time to thank God for all who work and worship in this place—through the ministries of worship, formation, pastoral care, outreach, hospitality, and administration. In addition, we thank God for those who serve on our Chapter, for those who are members of our Staff and for our Pastoral Associates. The Blessing for Ministry at Christ Church Cathedral that we will share is found on page 11 of the Service Bulletin. Note the QR code that is posted at each entrance. It will remain there so that, if you wish, you can scan the Service Bulletin and Cathedral Matters into your device and go paperless as I do. Join me this afternoon for a Brunch to celebrate the ministry of St. George’s Scholar Center: BirraCibo at Fourth Street Live! from 1 – 3. Tickets are $50. As you prepare for worship today, join me in reflecting upon these words of Swiss clergyman, Adolphe Monod: There is no portion of our time that is our time, and the rest God’s; there is no portion of money that is our money, and the rest God’s money. It is all His; He made it all, gives it all, and He has simply trusted it to us for His service. A servant has 2 purses, the master’s and his own, but we have only one. I am glad you are here today. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Coffee Hour hosts
Today’s Coffee Hour host are Cynthy Fanning and Patsy Melton. Be sure to thank them for their hospitality.
Cathedral Coffee Hour
We still need to have a few more volunteer hosts to add to our current 14 teams. A few people host alone, most teams have two people and a few have three. With a few more volunteers, we can schedule hosts for three times a year rather than four. The emphasis at coffee hour is hospitality and welcome—a simple offering is sufficient. Contact Randy Peters (rpeters421@yahoo.com).
CCC Parking Update
Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: 1) the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons (Sunday mornings only), at the corner of 2nd and Muhammed Ali: the old “Midas Lot” behind the Cathedral and entered by 1st St. at Louisville Surgical Center entrance; and the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. The Transamerica lot is only to be used for Sunday mornings (you will be towed if you park there at other times). The old “Midas Lot” can also be used on Sunday mornings and in the evenings and on Saturday when the Louisville Surgical Center is closed. The YMCA Garage can be used at anytime although there maybe a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.

Why do we pray, study, work, listen and build?
Benedict, the father of Benedictine spirituality, suggested that our life is best balanced between prayer, study, and work. We have taken that challenge as the basis of our common life together at Christ Church Cathedral: We pray (worship and the arts). We study (spiritual formation). We work (service to others). In addition, we know that we are sustained by our life together, and that works best when we listen to one another. We also aim to build and maintain a structure that will support all of our ministry efforts. And so: We listen (cathedral life and fellowship), We build (administration). In Cathedral Matters, you will find information about ministry opportunities at the Cathedral which fit into all five of these areas. Under each of the five main categories you will see what is new to the listing for this week. You will notice that some paragraphs repeat weekly, so that our guests won’t miss any news. You are urged to take your Cathedral Matters home with you so that you will have it for ready reference. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!
